All in all we were pleased with the cabin. The yard was huge . The deer were an extra surprise. The creek was beautiful our kids loved it. The only drawback was the driveway. The loose large rocks and gravel made it impossible to use. We had to park at the top in a space. You will definitely have to have a four wheel drive. We loved our stay at the cabin though. We got great exercise walking up and down the steep driveway.

Weekend trip with my Son and his girlfriend and my Daughter and their two young ones, Location was great , we could hear the rushing water from the cabin if you had the doors open, Very scenic, very nice fire pit with sort of a lighted Gazebo, Stream was everything we hoped for , Cabin was very nice, set up well .

First of all, it would be nice to know you need four-wheel-drive to get up and down the driveway. Don’t make two sets of checkout instructions. One says wash the linens yourself and start the load. The other says put it in the tub and don’t tell us to start the dishwasher when there is no dishwasher. Also, it would be nice to know that I needed a part-time job of emptying the dehumidifier three times a day. Also, it would be nice to have instructions on how to operate the stupid air-conditioning. And maybe next time pressure watch the porch a little bit so someone can use it that way it’s not covered in dirt and spiderwebs. Also don’t lock the goddamn door at 10 o’clock when you go outside of it before hitting I’m out. Other than that, it was great thank you

Peaceful place to relax

Enjoyed the peaceful setting and sound of the river. Encountered some wildlife, including a black bear that was startled by our presence and ran away. This cabin is definitely away from city life, but close enough to stores and restaurants if needed. Very nice place to relax.

The house is cute, layout is a little odd. The outside space is amazing! We enjoyed the game room downstairs and had a great time relaxing by the water and the firepit. The boys really enjoyed fishing in the river. The views are great!!!

October trip

We read all the reviews before booking therefore there no surprises. We really enjoyed the cabin and sitting by the firepit at night enjoying the no kid vacation. Beds were comfortable, the water got hot fast, theres also a neighborhood dog that came up when we arrived she was super sweet. As i said overall definitely a place id stay again. Make sure when booking to read the reviews and the emails so you know what to expect.

Great place on the river

The house was great. My family enjoyed the river and the game room. Sitting on the porch was nice and peaceful. The driveway is pretty steep and there's not a lot of room for a full size truck to turn around in the driveway... I'll also mention that its down a long narrow dirt road. It didn't bother us but worth noting. We only met another car once but had to back up a bit to find a place to pull over. We had great time.

Very relaxing and surreal

This is a very nice cabin and so relaxing.. yard full of deer at dusk. The sound of the river was so relaxing while sitting on the top balcony. Needs a tv in the living room where the comfortable furniture is. Cabin was clean but for the amount of the cleaning fee, there was dust on the tables and dried food on the knobs of the stove. Definitely would rent it again

On the river

Would rather have had a diswaher or hot tub instead of bidet on every toilet. No dresser or storage area to unpack clothes. No ball for Foosball table. Poorly stocked kitchen, lack of pots with largest maybe 6 cups. Went and bought one, left it there. Enjoyed the scenery.

Nice Cabin

Our stay at the cabin was truly enjoyable. My wife, my 10-year-old son, and I had a wonderful New Year's Eve, just as we had planned. However, I do have a suggestion: the descent to the cabin could be better maintained. It’s quite steep, and the vehicle tends to slip near the top, which could pose a risk for inexperienced drivers. I had to reverse down the slope to gain enough momentum to make it up the hill. For reference, I was driving a Highlander, not a 4x4.Another minor concern is the parking space under the tent. Maneuvering the vehicle requires several back-and-forth adjustments due to the limited space available. Lastly, the heating was preset to 68F, which felt too cold for someone like me coming from Miami. I hope you don’t mind, but I adjusted it to 72F for comfort.Overall, it’s a charming cabin, and we had a great time!
